A NEVADA newspaper says that a eltl'
zen recently saw two Piute bucks dl9 9
hole in snow bank, get into 1t, and
wrap themselves in single blanket
preparatory to a nights rest. In the
morning he saw no signs of the Indians,
but mound of snow marked the spot
where they went to bed. He was sure
that they had frozen during the cold
night, and prepared to dig out the
bodies but the first thrust of the shovel
brought the bucks to their feet, with
grunts of disgust. Instead OF oe!nS
frozen, they were moist with Persplra-
ton.
A CHICAGO COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER Is
reported as saying that drummers Tor
stove houses now carry sample OF any
particularly fine parlor stove that they
may be selling. He says: - hls Is
more satisfactory to the merchants than
buying from photographs, but it's no
fun for the boys to carry stoves from
town to town, I tell you, particularly
when it is considered that their orders
are to put fires in the stoves so that GUS
toners can see Just how the thing works.
Many time have I seen hot stoves
lifted into baggage cars to be carried
from one town to another.
A YOUNG man of Carbonate, Dakota,
thought that he'd be smart, and so began
a correspondence with foolish young
woman in the East whom he had never
seen. She wanted his photograph, and
he sent her that of a hotel-keeper OF the
place. She was so pleased with it that
she agreed to go to Dakota and marry
her correspondent. She started alone
and arrived at Carbonate the other day;
but the young man had fed. The pa
per that reports the occurrence says;
"The situation is very embarrassing for
the lady. The hotel man would marry
her were he not engaged to another girl. "
A REPORTER of the Louisville Courier
Journal asked Congressman Bragg
what he meant by the expression "cottee
cooler" used in his speech against the
vetoed pension bill. eff you get Forbes
picture of the war; said Mr.. Bragg,
"you will see picture of the regiments
as they move into action. On the side
of the road under cedar copse, there
are three soldiers squatted down holding
their coffee in cups, cooling it. And
there they remain until after the battle |;
and then reioin their regiments. These
fellows were features in every regiment,
and I was surprised at the faithfulness
of Forbes's delineation of these skulk-
ers."
SAMUEL PAsoo of McConnePs, Ga,
is one of the wealthiest farmers of that
section and keeps much money in his
house. The other morning he an
nounced that burglars had entered the
house in the night, chloroformed him,
and stolen lot of his money that when
he awoke he counted his money and
found it $4,000 short. Officers were
informed and every effort was made to
get some clue to the robbers, but in
vain. There were indications that Mr..
Pasco was mistaken about being robbed,
and he was asked to count the money
again. He did so, and found that none
of it was missing. He had undoubtedly
dreamed of the burglary and in his ex-
element erred in his first count.
ANOTHER CURIOUS CASE of apparent
sensation in a member of the body after
it had been amputated comes from
Florida. George W. Clay's arm was
amputated, put in a box and buried.
Soon afterward he began to complain
that the fingers of the buried hand were
cramped and that there was sand be-
tween them. His physician and his
sister had the box dug up and opened,
and found the fingers eramped and the
sand between, just as George had said.
They arranged the arm properly and re-
buried it. Clay said that while they
were gone he felt an awful pain in the
amputated arm, and then came a sensa-
ton of great relief, and there was no
longer the old cramped sensation in the
hand.
For five years the prohibition law has

genious contrivance, just unearthed.
Three beer barrels were sunk in the
ground and connected by tubes with
joist in stable close by. On the side of
the jOist an innocent looking board, APP
parently nailed, when released by a
pressure on a hidden spring, turned on
a hinge at the bottom disclosed the faU-
Get by which the beer was drawn. The
barrels in the earth had galvanized iron
pipes extending up to near the surface
of the ground. When the barrels were
to be replenished the dirt was removed
from over these pipes, funnel placed in
each and the beer poured in. Afterward
the pipes were again covered and there
was nothing to show the existence of the
hiding place.
